Customs:
There was no problem with customs.
The only airline that flies to Easter Island is Lan Chile.
They are very specific about how much weight you take with you.
You are allowed two bags but only about 60 pounds total.
My gear was well over 150 lbs.
With the help of Bill, AA6TT and John, W0UN we successfully "argued" with the attendant until they got tired
of us and let my cases go for not additional charge. Returning however, I wasn't anywhere near as successful
and was charged 57,420 Chilean Pesos which is about $150.00 USD.
